We have reviewed Hockerty before — including their outerwear — but a great test of a MTM company is whether they can produce garments with any level of consistency. This is especially true with offerings like outerwear which is not a super-easy thing to get right, and should only be offered if it can be done correctly. We were not at all happy with the consistency (or lack thereof) when it came to Hockerty’s shirts but we wanted to see if perhaps the experience with their outerwear would be different…
Read moreReview: The Hook & Albert Garment Weekender Bag (+ Dopp Kit)
Some products really live up to the hype, and this is one of them. That’s not say it isn’t without some flaws, but, coming right out at the top of this thing, the Garment Weekender Bag from Hook & Albert ($500) is truly a superb product…
Read moreReview: Bluffworks New Travel Jeans + Comparison
We’ve taken a look at Bluffworks in the past and have been quite happy with their products. They make “tech wear”, or clothing that looks like it’s just typical, average, normal clothing but actually has all sorts of special technical properties that make it stretch, water-resistant, sweat-resistant, stretchy, and so on. Their suit, for instance, is washable! Recently, though, they released a new item: Travel Jeans ($125)…
Read moreSpier & Mackay Custom MTM Dress Shirts Review
While Spier & Mackay has become super well known in the menswear space for their suits, shirts, and sport coats, offering superb values, high end fabrics, and great cuts at beyond reasonable prices, they also have a lesser known made-to-measure shirt program ($79+) that you can order from online. Naturally, it should come as no surprise to you that we had to try it out, continuing our coverage of all the online MTM companies we can get our hands on!..
Read moreDid You Know Thursday Boots Makes A Women’s Line Too? Well, They Do & They’re Just As Great
It’s no secret that we are big fans of Thursday Boots around here. They make some great shoes at quite affordable prices. They look great, are super comfortable, and really do hold up nicely over time. Are they the strongest, most durable, best built shoes on the market? Or course not. But at the the price point, we think they are some of the absolute best. In short, they punch above their weight, and you’re gettin a great value for your money (which is what we are all about around these parts)…
Read moreHockerty Custom Made To Measure Suit Review
We continue our ongoing series of covering all of the online made to measure clothing options! This time it’s with a brand you have likely heard of, Hockerty. In short, think of them as Indochino, only cheaper. They’re trying to offer and cater to a market that finds even Indochino expensive. Dubious? Well, you should be. We didn’t have high hopes with Hockerty from the get-go, and, in the end, we were not at all surprised…
Read moreA Review of SPOKE Trousers + Polo Shirts
A new, rather interesting company launched recently. It’s called SPOKE and it’s based out of London. As is implied by their name (be-spoke), they want to offer a more custom, tailored, precise fit for various garments of clothing. They’re starting with pants, cords, and polos…
Read moreA Review Of The GQ "Best Stuff" Box For January 2019
As soon as we heard that GQ would be getting into the subscription box game, you knew, of course that we would have to take a look and review it for you guys. We were, as it happens, super, super impressed with the first three boxes, and now it’s time to take a look at their fourth. GQ’s box delivers every quarter, as opposed to the more common monthly boxes you might be used to…
Read moreTailor Store Custom Dress Shirts Review
We’re back again with another custom, made-to-measure shirt review. This time it’s a company we’ve been seeing quite a lot on social media — Instagram specifically — and that is Tailor Store. If you take a look around online, most of the feedback from them has actually been quite positive…
Read moreLanieri Custom Suit Review
As we continue to cover online MTM here on the site, we are journeying further into the world of online MTM suiting. We have already reviewed both Indochino and Black Lapel — two of the biggest and most popular companies in this space. Now we turn our attention to another contender, Lanieri ($740+). Their slogan is “Italians do fit better” and it very well encapsulates what sets Lanieri apart from the other online MTM suiting companies…
